Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod]
England won the toss and decided to field in the last Test match of the series. England got off to a good start. India lost Yashasvi Jaiswal and Kl Rahul for just 38 runs. Jaiswal scored just 2 and Rahul returned to the dressing room with 18 runs.
The decision to field was a good one after winning the toss. This pitch at Oval cannot be called batting friendly. It is quite difficult to collect 350+ on this pitch. If England's bowlers can bowl in a controlled manner, it will not be possible for India to collect a big total. The possibility of this match being drawn like the last match is very low.

India lost a wicket in the 1st ball of the third over when Yashasvi Jaiswal got out. But then Kl Rahul and his partner Sai Sudharsan were trying to stabilize the game and play a long partnership. Jaiswal carried his front foot and it got Leg Before Wicket and he got LBW out. It was looking like it might not be out, but England reviewed it and the results were in favor of the England team.
So far in this series, KL Rahul's performance is going very well. He has always played huge role in game-changing moments but today he was out making 14 runs.
Right now the match is delayed due to rain.
